If you describe a partition of a table that is avro then you get the schema 
error. 

{code}
DROP TABLE IF EXISTS episodes_partitioned;
CREATE TABLE episodes_partitioned
PARTITIONED BY (doctor_pt INT)
ROW FORMAT
SERDE 'org.apache.hadoop.hive.serde2.avro.AvroSerDe'
STORED AS
INPUTFORMAT 'org.apache.hadoop.hive.ql.io.avro.AvroContainerInputFormat'
OUTPUTFORMAT 'org.apache.hadoop.hive.ql.io.avro.AvroContainerOutputFormat'
TBLPROPERTIES ('avro.schema.literal'='{
  "namespace": "testing.hive.avro.serde",
  "name": "episodes",
  "type": "record",
  "fields": [
    {
      "name":"title",
      "type":"string",
      "doc":"episode title"
    },
    {
      "name":"air_date",
      "type":"string",
      "doc":"initial date"
    },
    {
      "name":"doctor",
      "type":"int",
      "doc":"main actor playing the Doctor in episode"
    }
  ]
}');

ALTER TABLE episodes_partitioned ADD PARTITION (doctor_pt=4);
DESC episodes_partitioned  PARTITION (doctor_pt=4);
{code}

You will get the error: 

{code}
error_error_error_error_error_error_error       string                  from 
deserializer
cannot_determine_schema string                  from deserializer
